SCOTT BROWN'S AMAZING 54 SECOND VIDEO REVIEW OF THE PURITAN HARD DRIVE (Pastor Scott Brown is the Director of the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, NCFIC)

Pastor Paul Washer Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

"In the history of extra-biblical study and research tools there has never before been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive... The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous blessing... the KnowledgeBase software on the Puritan Hard Drive provides an effective road map to access the material in ways that are easy-to-use, organized and highly productive. With the click of a button, you can easily do ten hours worth of research in just seconds!... Having the Puritan Hard Drive is like owning the largest Puritan and Reformed Library in the world along with a full time research assistant with his PhD in Puritan Studies from Oxford or Cambridge. Imagine not only owning the largest Puritan and Reformed library, but having a full-time team of world-class research assistants at your beck and call... It is almost as if God is saying, "Here is a tool that will lead you to more truth faster than ever before. Make the best possible use of it and bring much glory to My Name." (2 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 5:16)."

"The Puritan Hard Drive is a massive collection of primary Puritan resources, dozens of which are very hard to find anywhere else in the world.Any lover of Puritan literature, which, more than any other body of literature ever written, powerfully expands our minds, convicts our consciences, allures our hearts, and moves our hands,will find a treasure trove here."

- Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Pastor, Author of many important Reformed books (including the must read, Meet the Puritans: With A Guide to Modern Reprints), Editorial Director at Reformation Heritage Books, etc.

Amazing Puritan Hard Drive Fact and Hint:

A search, using the master index on the Puritan Hard Drive and the "Open Full Reader Search" (in Acrobat reader), for the word "prayer", returns 97,170 results (in 1,378 documents) - all in context, arranged by book, and clickable (i.e., when you click on your individual search result the book opens to the page with your result highlighted)! How helpful is that for learning more about prayer, or any other subject you can think of, through the Puritan Hard Drive? Download the free PDF, "How to Find Specific Words and Phrases in Searchable Books.pdf", to learn more.

Once again, at Still Waters Revival Books, we have a unique and remarkable reason to praise and thank our matchless sovereign King, the Lord Jesus Christ! In His singular, special and spectacular kindness, mercy, grace and love to us (His people), He has providentially granted another exceptional and extraordinary technological breakthrough, which, by His grace, will be of much benefit to many who love Him and desire to know and follow His truth above all else (Luke 10:27, Exod. 20:3). Thus, we are pleased to announce the availability of the fully downloadable On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive (PHD-ODE) for Windows and Mac systems.

The On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive is identical to the critically-acclaimed Puritan Hard Drive (see all the Puritan Hard Drive reviews on this page, below) with two essential differences.

Please watch the video above for a demonstration showing exactly how the new downloadable On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive (PHD-ODE) works, and what is different about the downloadable PHD-ODE when compared to the PHD distributed on a USB hard drive. This video includes information screen shots and other helpful graphics.

If you would rather read about how the PHD-ODE works, and the essential differences between the downloadable On Demand Edition and the USB hard drive edition, simply read the text below.

For more information about everything you get with the Puritan Hard Drive (excepting the slight differences in the PHD-ODE noted on this page), and many reasons why the Puritan Hard Drive (in all versions) will be, by the grace of God, a tremendous blessing in your life, please see the full Puritan Hard Drive page.

The section specifically on the lower priced PHD-ODE is at the beginning of the video above, and only runs about 18 minutes. The full video run time is longer because the section on the PHD-ODE is followed by some reviews of the original Puritan Hard Drive.

The first difference is that the PHD-ODE costs less than half the price of the original Puritan Hard Drive
(PHD, which was distributed on an external USB hard drive),
even though you still get full access to the same sensational search and research software, and all the phenomenal Puritan and Reformed resources (over 12,500 of them!), with the PHD-ODE
.

In the past we have done everything in our power to keep the price of the Puritan Hard Drive as low as possible,
so that the most Christians possible could know the great blessings that come, by God's grace, through the stellar software and amazing Reformation resources on the Puritan Hard Drive
. Nevertheless, in spite of our best efforts (and prayers) to keep the price down, we continue to get phone calls and emails, from all over the world, noting that the price still put this outstanding Bible study tool out of the reach of many Christians.

However,
since our main goals at SWRB are to glorify God and be a blessing to our brothers and sisters in Christ (throughout the nations)
, we continued to pray that our Lord would show us ways to better serve Him and meet the needs of all Christians (especially poor and persecuted believers) all over the world, through all the free Reformation resources we have the privilege of distributing, and concerning making the Puritan Hard Drive available to more of our brothers and sister in Christ.
We have seen our Lord answer these prayers in many ways, and one of these answers is seen in the
much lower priced
downloadable On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive.
In fact,
it has been amazing to watch the Lord at work, in answering our prayers, over the decades SWRB has been in operation, and we continue to pray that the new
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard
will be a tremendous blessing to you, your family, your church and your nation.

You are also more than welcome to pray along with us, that our Lord will greatly use the
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
to bring much glory to His great name, much blessing to His people (wherever they may be found), and to spread His biblical (Reformation) truth throughout the nations (Isa. 2:2-4). Also, if you would, please let others know about the new, much lower priced
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
that is now available.

The second difference is that the PHD-ODE is completely downloadable and only initially requires 3GB of free space on the target drive.

When you purchase the
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
(at a substantially reduced cost relative to the original PHD), you will be given a link to download an installation program.
After you download the installer, just click on it to install
the SWRB PHD KnowledgeBase software on your computer, either to its internal hard drive or to an external hard drive attached to it.

You are now ready to experience the spiritual and theological rocket fuel of what Pastor Paul Washer (the Founder and Director of the HeartCry Missionary Society) calls
the most useful extra-biblical Christian study and research resource in the history of the world
(see Paul Washer's full review below).
The downloadable ODE-PHD not only makes it possible to use the
powerful SWRB KnowledgeBase software
with very little disk space available, but it also eliminates the wait time that was involved in packing and shipping a physical product,
so you may begin to use your
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
immediately after you have installed it, no matter where you live in the world!

To summarize, you get virtually instant access to the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive (including the same celebrate Knowledgebase software, and all the remarkable Puritan and Reformed resources which were on the original, much higher priced, Puritan Hard Drive) at a significantly lower price!

These are just some of the reasons why we are so thankful to our Lord for the new technological advances in Biblical, Puritan and Reformation studies, which He has granted by ordaining the new On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive, "for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14)!

Once you are using the PHD KnowledgeBase application software you will discover the vast treasures of Puritan and Reformation resources that comprise the PHD collection, and be able to download each resource, at your convenience (whenever it is needed), with just one click of the mouse -- by clicking on the "Open Resource" button or on the green check mark that appears in resources listings.

Assuming you are connected to the Internet, the download will begin immediately and, when completed, your newly available resource will be automatically placed in the proper location for your use. Moreover, as soon as your download is completed, the applicable reader/player will be automatically launched for your viewing, listening or watching pleasure.

It's as simple and as seamless as it gets!

Just click "Open Resource", or the green check mark, and the PHD-ODE takes care of all the rest!

What's more, after the file has been downloaded to the hard drive or flash drive you are using, any further attempts to access the resource will be directed to your hard drive and the resource will be displayed/played immediately. In those times when you are not connected to the Internet, the downloaded resources will always be manually available offline (using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder).

If you have very limited free space available on the drive where your On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive is installed, you may choose to delete any of the downloaded files to make room for other files. A delete button will be available on any program window where you can open the resource. Any resource so deleted can always be re-downloaded whenever necessary. This is a fantastic feature which facilitates the use of the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive even if you have very limited space on your target drive, whether it be internal, external, or even a flash drive!

Additionally, you can copy your installation to another drive, either internal, external or flash, with sufficient space to hold the entire collection if so desired. Remember, because we want the Puritan Hard Drive to be as great a blessing to you, and your family, as is possible, you are legally permitted to have copies of the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive on multiple computers, hard drives and flash drives that you own, and which you use for your own personal or family studies. For example, we are a family-friendly, homeschool-friendly, ministry, and therefore families only need to buy one On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive for the whole family, which may be used by everyone in the PHD-ODE owner's family, who are living in the owner's residence. Also, if you study at work, as in the case of Pastors or others, a copy may be kept on your study computer at work (but not on any public computers, like at a church or seminary library). You are not, of course, permitted to distribute the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive to others (who are not immediate family, and who are not residing in your personal residence), or place it on computers open to the public, or open to other people (outside of your immediate family) who are not PHD-ODE owners, without purchasing additional licenses. Contact us directly to purchase additional licenses if your needs fall outside of standard uses as outlined above -- as in the case of a church or seminary library or other uses where larger scale access is needed.

In short, in answer to many prayers, our Lord has seen fit to make the new downloadable On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive, with access to all the wonderful and delightful Puritan and Reformed treasures which were on the original PHD (over 12,500 of them), and the outstanding (and glowingly reviewed, see below) Bible study and Reformation research software, available to the Christian community throughout the globe at a greatly reduced price (and delivery is as close to instantaneous as we can make it!). We hope this much lower price will make it possible for you to obtain this terrific tool for real lasting biblical Reformation (personal, familial, ecclesiastical and civil), and that our Lord will send tremendous blessings into every aspect of your life as you seek Him and His will through this marvelous new instrument for blessing.

Moreover, if you still can't afford the ODE-PHD, even at the new low price (or by using the deferred payment option that is available, see below the "Add to Cart" button for more details about our interest free deferred payment option), please contact us and let us know about your situation. The more details you provide the better, including how much you think you can afford, and we will do our best, for all reasonable offers, to make it possible for you to obtain the PHD-ODE. Please do not use this option unless you really can't afford the new lower price, as you will be making it harder for us to assist those who really need the help, and hinder our efforts to continue to reach those in need through free Reformation resources we place online. Also, please remember that the Lord sees and knows what you are doing, so it is wise to be as fair and honest as you can be, if you contact us for consideration for special pricing. Thanks!

For the foreseeable future, we will continue to ship the original PHD configuration for those who prefer the convenience and immediate access made possible by distribution via the USB external hard drive.

The
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
is available in either
Windows or Mac Editions
at the same low cost.

On
Windows, the software will run on Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP1) or any later Windows versions (e.g., Windows 7).
The only caveat here is that you will not be able to use Adobe Reader/Acrobat version 10+ to automatically display the PDF resources on Windows 7 Home Standard. For that edition, you will need the earlier 9.4+ version of the Adobe software.

The
Mac version
of the
On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive
runs on
MAC OS X Version 10.4+ and up, known, as of this writing, in Mac speak as Tiger (10.4+), Leopard/Snow Leopard (10.5 - 10.6+) or Lion (10.7+), Mountain Lion (10.8+) and Mavericks (10.9).

The
system memory (i.e., RAM) requirements
are relatively modest for most modern computer configurations.
A minimum of
1.5GB for Windows XP and Vista, and 2GB for Windows 7.
For the
Mac,
2GB
is required
. These are the minimum requirements. As with many other software applications, the more available RAM, the greater the software performance and the better the user experience.

After you purchase the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive at PuritanDownloads.com and download the installation file, you should have at least 3GB of available free space on the hard drive on which you intend to run the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive. If you choose to eventually download all of the 12,500+ resources, you will need 95-100GB of disk space to store all the files. As mentioned earlier, if you don't have that much free disk space, you can store a subset of the PHD collection that most interests you and later delete some of those files to make room for others (as you can always download and delete files as you need them).

To operate the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive you should have a broadband Web connection. If you are still on dial-up, you should only purchase the original Puritan Hard Drive that comes distributed on an external USB hard drive with all 12,500+ Reformation resources. Naturally, the faster your broadband connection, the more quickly the resources will be downloaded. And as the video above demonstrates, even relatively large resource files can be downloaded quickly on a reasonably fast broadband line.

Software Requirements for Viewing and Playing Resources

Either a current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Standard/Pro must be installed in order to read the books on the PHD-ODE. Only one, not both, of these programs should be installed, in conformance with Adobe’s standard instructions. The latest version of Acrobat Reader is available for free download on the internet at http://get.adobe.com/reader/ . An Adobe product is required in order to take full advantage of the embedded indices and the Master Index allowing searching across all indexed .pdf files.

To access audio (MP3) files directly from the KnowledgeBase, Windows Media Player (on Windows) or iTunes (on Mac OS X and Windows) is strongly recommended as the default MP3 player. Other 3rd party players may work, but we do not directly support their use. In the vast majority of cases, most systems will already be configured in this manner.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive. Please see the other tutorial videos, under "ALL PURITAN HARD DRIVE VIDEOS",in the left category column at PuritanDownloads.com, for much more information about using the KnowledgeBase software, which is on all versions of the Puritan Hard Drive -- as well as for a closer look at all this software can do (as a second cause) to bring you closer to God.

Again, if you would like to see all that is available on the Puritan Hard Drive, and many more details about matters related to the Puritan Hard Drive (like our lifetime warranty, how owners get free lifetime upgrades to the PHD software and database, etc.), please click here to visit the Web page for the original Puritan Hard Drive. You get everything listed on the original Web page for the original Puritan Hard Drive, when you purchase the much lower priced On Demand Edition of the Puritan Hard Drive on this page, excepting the slight differences noted on this page.

SCOTT BROWN'S AMAZING 54 SECOND VIDEO REVIEW OF THE PURITAN HARD DRIVE (Pastor Scott Brown is the Director of the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, NCFIC)

Scott Brown: Hey Reg Barrow, this is Scott Brown. I'm doing a conference on the Baptist Confession of 1689, and just right after I gave my last message, this guy comes up to me, and he asks me a question about the Puritan Hard Drive. So, what did you ask?

Scott Brown: I love it. You have to get it. It's the best thing. It's the best for the money you'll ever get anyplace in books.

Tall Guy: Okay. Here's a question, 'cause I've read a little bit about it. But tell me about the Search Engine. Is it, do you type in an author, do you type in a word, a topic, what do you do?

Scott Brown: Yes, yes, author, topic. It's so easy, it will take you to anything you want. It's absolutely phenomenal.

Tall Guy: Have you exhausted the resources?

Scott Brown: You cannot exhaust them. It's impossible. It's so vast. But I'm telling you, as far as a research tool, it's second to none. Unbelievable stuff. And the search, the search function is just beautiful.

"In the history of extra-biblical study and research tools there has never before been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive."

With the Puritan Hard Drive I can now carry one of the largest Puritan and Reformed libraries in my pocket.

No matter where I am, as long as there is some form of power source to operate a computer, I have access to some of the best Puritan and Reformed literature available.

The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous blessing. I travel frequently to many parts of the globe. The Puritan Hard Drive allows me to continue my studies on the road with the same depth as when I am seated in my study at home.

The wonderful portability of this massive Puritan library (and remarkable research software) makes the Puritan Hard Drive ideal for missionaries, students, or anyone who needs instant access to the best Reformation study materials in a variety of locations.

There is much more to the Puritan Hard Drive than just convenience, portability and the exceptional quality and extraordinary number of Reformation resources it includes. Even if a minister owned the largest printed Puritan library in the world, he would not be able to properly research the material. However, the KnowledgeBase software on the Puritan Hard Drive provides an effective road map to access the material in ways that are easy-to-use, organized and highly productive. With the click of a button, you can easily do ten hours worth of research in just seconds!

Having the Puritan Hard Drive is like owning the largest Puritan and Reformed Library in the world along with a full time research assistant with his PhD in Puritan Studies from Oxford or Cambridge.

Imagine not only owning the largest Puritan and Reformed library, but having a full-time team of world-class research assistants at your beck and call.

The high level of educational and scholarly functionality, combined with a marvelous library of over 12,500 top Puritan and Reformed resources and an extremely reasonable price, really makes obtaining the Puritan Hard Drive a stewardship issue. It is almost as if God is saying, "Here is a tool that will lead you to more truth faster than ever before. Make the best possible use of it and bring much glory to My Name." (2 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 5:16).

In the history of extra-biblical study and research tools there has never before been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive. The immense body of Reformation material (books, MP3s and videos) on the Puritan Hard Drive, along with the phenomenal proprietary software program that is included, makes the Puritan Hard Drivea valuable tool for Reformation in our day.

As a member of the HeartCry Missionary Society, I am witness to the great needs of Christians throughout the globe. Possibly the greatest need is sound Christian literature. Even though many Third World pastors read English, they have very few good books available to them. Even if we could afford to buy each indigenous minister a small library, the cost of shipping would be astronomical. With the Puritan Hard Drive we can provide pastors throughout the globe with one of the most complete Puritan and Reformed libraries at a fraction of the cost.

The Puritan Hard Drive is also ideal for situations where concealment is a priority in countries which are hostile to the Gospel. The Puritan Hard Drive is the most compact way to smuggle the light of over 12,500 Reformation resources (with powerful study software) into the spiritual darkness of those nations that are in most need of Gospel truth.

I was one of those who had profited much from using the plethora of out-of-print Reformation materials offered by Still Waters Revival Books in the 62 CDs (Puritan CDs and Reformation CDs) for a number of years in my ministry -- works that I could only have found in select libraries (usually hundreds of miles away from my residence).

With the CDs, it took a little while to go to the index of each set, locate the documents I needed, and then find the correct CD. Of course, the time was always well spent in finding that particular document that I needed.

However, now that I have the Puritan Hard Drive, I am able to use my time much more efficiently in finding that particular document I need by quickly searching for it and finding it in a matter of seconds. It's like going from "dial up" to "high-speed" Internet!

And for all of those documents that have a font that are in block letters, I am able to simply cut and paste from the Puritan Hard Drive to my own document with ease.

Amazing surprises do come in small packages!

If you want to understand Reformed theology (i.e., the whole counsel of God) the Puritan Hard Drive is unsurpassed, outside the Bible itself. The First and Second Reformations gave us the most faithful Scriptural teaching and preaching since the time of the Apostles, and there is no other resource, outside Scripture itself, where you can find so much of God's truth as in the Puritan Hard Drive.

May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!

Pastor W.J. Mencarow Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

Pastor W.J. Mencarow

(Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area)

The Puritan Hard Drive is the must have digital learning device for Puritan and Reformed studies.

Nothing like it has ever been available before!

There is no other way to get such easy, convenient and inexpensive access to so many great works from the best Reformation and Puritan preachers and teachers, past and present -- and the study software on the Puritan Hard Drive is out of this world in terms of usefulness!

If necessary, sell what you have (that does not draw you closer to God) to get the Puritan Hard Drive, and prayerfully use it until you become, by the Lord's sovereign and sanctifying grace, the most extraordinary Christian you can be (for His glory!).

If you search the Internet for Reformed and Puritan works you will inevitably see a banner for a product called the Puritan Hard Drive. I often thought, "why would I want to purchase a hard drive when so much of the information (probably) contained on it could be easily found with a free search on the Internet?" Was I ever wrong!

It is easy, simple to use and the search feature cut down my time searching web pages that had absolutely nothing to do with the query I typed into the search engine. Not to mention a lot of the material is not accessible on the Internet.

To have so many books and articles at my fingers-tips is both truly amazing and a blessing. The Puritan Hard Drive just added thousands of volumes that I never could afford, nor store, to my library.

If you, like me, love the Puritans and Reformed theology, then the Puritan Hard Drive is simply a resource that you cannot live without."

I was just on the island of Iona where Columba established a missionary outpost sending evangelists all over Britain. Searching the hard drive for "Columba" added much to my understanding of this great leader through the eyes of Spurgeon and many others.

Thank you so much... for going to the trouble to make this available.

I am greatly improved by it and I anticipate the pace of worldwide reformation to be improved as well.

On my way across the ocean to study the reformation with Doug Phillips, I did not have a suitcase of books as I usually do. I was lamenting that fact at the airline ticket counter and my daughter Claudia said to me, "Papa, close your eyes and step into the new world." Well, let me confess: on my computer I have approximately 13,000 puritan and reformed books which I have acquired through my son downloading ebooks and a gigantic collection put together by Reg Barrow from Still Waters Revival Books. I am now like Abdul Kassem Ismael, Grand Vizier of Persia who, in the tenth century, carried his library with him wherever he went. The 117,000 volumes were carried by 400 camels which were trained to walk in alphabetical order.

The Puritan Hard Drive is just a massive resource for anyone needing to do their homework on a project that involves theology, church history, and/or sound doctrine.

It's truly a technological marvel and we are blessed to have access to such a rich heritage of excellent material.

And the drive fits in my pocket!

Just wonderful.

It is an invaluable resource."

Terence Ellard Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

As a self-confessed computer bozo (if not leaning somewhat towards computer-phobic at times) I am delighted to report that the technical, usability, etc., side of thePuritan Hard Drive has presented no challenges to me whatsoever! It is as simple as ABC!

On its contents front, it surely is unsurpassed in wholesome doctrine. For example, type the word 'sin' into the search facility (using the master search index - ed.) and you will be hard pressed to read more uplifting articles on the Christian life, since post-Apostolic days.

To be sure, you can get material on CD's and elsewhere (and much of it is a great blessing) but nowhere can you find, in one concentrated place, the overflowing unction of the Holy Spirit in the rivers and tributaries that comprise the Puritan Hard Drive'ssimple yet expansive creation.

It is simple to set up and there is a tremendous amount of material available that will last me for years as I go through it all.

The search tools are, by themselves, well worth the price of the Puritan Hard Drive. It makes finding authors, topics and documents incredibly easy and fast. (The speed itself is amazing!) I also find the ability to copy from any of the (searchable - ed.) PDFs and paste into whatever .doc I happen to have open to be extremely useful.

I'm also glad to see that there are audio sermons/teachings (MP3s - ed.), as well as WMVs (videos - ed) from a variety of speakers and preachers as this provides a well-rounded approach to my own theology.

I've downloaded the entire drive to one of my computers that can handle it, and have it hooked up to a laptop.

The Puritan Hard Driveis a tremendous asset to my library and a huge time-saver for my own learning, preaching, teaching and counseling.

There are plenty of resources available to today's Bible student but none contain the treasures of the Puritan Hard Drive. In order to be a well-rounded, erudite student of God's word you must, in the words of C.S. Lewis, "read old books." In no other resource can you find, in one place, the writings of the great Calvinistic scholars and in such an easy, searchable format. Student and scholar alike can benefit from the Puritan Hard Drive and to pass over such a resource would be an immeasurable loss.

In the Lord's providence He has provided such a great resource to bless His Church.

May the Lord usher in another reformation of doctrine through the possession of the Puritan Hard Drive.

I think I could use it for the rest of my life and still not exhaust all of its features.

The Puritan Hard Drive is great, and unsurpassed in Bible study (except for the Bible itself).

The Puritan Hard Drive is one of my most treasured and precious possessions and is a great help in ministry.

It is the electronic device that I treasure the most.

It is a brilliant piece of work and only heaven will reveal its influence.

I have watched the video tutorials and the speaker is fantastic in teaching, and there is no problem following his instructions. The speaker does a super job in the tutorials, teaching how to use the Puritan Hard Drive.

P.S. I know you are doing an extremely important work for now and eternity - and your Web site is one of the few sites I love because of the Reformed and Puritan theology, which is so needed in our day. Your material and Sermonaudio are my favorites.

When I was full-time at seminary, we had a superb theological library. But for access to the Puritan classics a special trip was necessary to visit the Puritan collection at Regent College on the UBC campus. If I had had this Puritan Hard Drive, no such trips would have been needed.

Never before have ordinary pastors, teachers and students had access to such a wealth of rare sermons, classic theology and commentaries.

I have had the privilege of being one of the first who received the Puritan Hard Drive from its initial production. Over the last 9 months, we have read and listened to so many Puritan, Reformed and Baptist books and sermons that we constantly thank the Lord for putting into our hands resources which are "far above rubies."

We use the Puritan Hard Drive (PHD) material throughout the day for personal bible study, family worship, home schooling, Lord's Day preparation, and redeeming our time while traveling (listening to the MP3 resources).

All the glory to God for the gifted men of yesteryear and for this treasure storehouse produced by decades of tireless effort by Still Waters Revival Books.

Most commercial theological software packages allow you to search 18th - 20th century public domain books or charge premium prices for materials under current copyright. But for spiritual richness and depth of insight, who can match the Reformation and Post-Reformation Puritan classics? The ones available in PDF form scattered around the Internet would take hundreds of hours to locate and download. And, for ease and speed of search, the Puritan Hard Driveis frankly ingenious.

For pennies per resource, you even provide a collection of outstanding MP3s and a handy portable hard-drive with ample available space.

Hi, I received the Puritan Hard Drive about 20th of December last year, I am overwhelmed at the content.

It is like the treasures that were taken out of Solomon's temple.

It is packed with such knowledge, understanding and so much wisdom I can fully understand how our Puritan forefathers walked in such fear of the Lord that they sought His and only His will to be done in their lives.

I was struggling with life in general and felt that I was slipping so far away from God that I just could not see the way back, when I started looking into the Puritan Hard Drive. I was short on finances but willing to part with a treasured Matthew Henry 5 volumes in order to pay for the Puritan Hard Drive.

Well only just after a month of continuously looking into the Puritans (on the Puritan Hard Drive - ed.), reading some and listening to the audio I feel that the Lord in His good kindness and His abounding mercy has once again assured me of His wonderful gracious Love towards His own.

I've got other Christian teaching material but nothing compares to what the Lord has done using Still Waters Revival Books to bring these books together and putting them all in one small compact 21st century device. It is TRULY amazing.

To the people who have put this Puritan Hard Drive together, whether you read from books and it is your voice that is heard (reading classic Reformed and Puritan books to MP3 - ed.), or have put your sermons on audio, and to SWRB who worked in collecting all the material together, my heart goes out to you all, and I say thank you - but without the LORD none of this would ever of been done, so we must all give Him the praise and glory. We are all worthy of the greatest condemnation, but by His selfless sacrifice He poured out His Love on such utterly worthless worms and redeemed those that He chose before there was time.

I am the very least of all true Christians and what the Puritan Hard Drive has done for my spiritual revival is so wonderfully great, I wholeheartedly recommend getting this Puritan Hard Drive at whatever cost.

As I have already said above, when I bought this I had no money coming in, my bank account was near on being closed, and I sold a personal treasure and I am so glad that I did, to obtain the Puritan Hard Drive. My faith once was weak, but now I'm gaining strength daily.

The Lord bless all those involved in putting this together, but I'm especially thankful to the LORD OF ALL GLORY, thank you.

Also thank you for putting me right and correcting me on my ideas of the end times, I have repented of being a Futurist, thank you.

I would also like to add, I've been reading "The Discourse on Prayer" by Thomas Boston, and listening to "The Art of Divine Contentment" by Thomas Watson, and just finished listening to "The Crucifixion of Christ" by Isaac Ambrose.

Thomas Boston's "Discourse on Prayer" showed me my ignorance and my callous slothfulness, and how we are to rely 100% on the Holy Spirit to pray in and through us.

Thomas Watson's "The Art of Divine Contentment" showed me just how discontented I was, and after hearing Isaac Ambrose's sermon on the crucifixion, I don't think I've got the words to describe how utterly wicked, evil, cruel and depraved man has become - and how good, kind and especially how much God utterly loves this world.

I only started looking into the Puritans about 2003-4, can't remember exactly when. I near on stormed out of a Baptist church shouting up to Heaven and said "I want the truth." That is when among other sights (i.e., Charles Spurgeon and a few others) the Lord brought me across SWRB. And please believe I am so GLAD He did.

Just the last sermon I've heard would have been worth the amount (and more) that I paid for the Puritan Hard Drive. So please keep up the excellent work that you are doing.

May the Lord God of all mercy, grace, peace and Love bless you in all spiritual knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, to remain obedient to all that He calls you to.

Pastor David Silversides Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

The Puritan Hard Drivereached me this morning and as soon as I installed it on my PC I was totally amazed at what it is able to do.

It is a tremendous blessing of God to have such a tool in my hands...the Puritan Hard Drive is a wonderful and powerful tool.

Now, I will be able to enjoy all the possibilities of this tremendous program.

You were right, it was worth the wait.

Thank you very much and congratulations to all your team.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Pastor Phil Gibson Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

Some time ago my wife and I served as missionaries in Thailand for several years. Whilst there I discovered the doctrines of grace through reading Arthur Pink's "Sovereignty of God". I later came across http://www.swrb.com and ordered several books from them on a number of occasions, including:

Thomas Watson's "Taking Heaven by storm"

Thomas Boston's "Crook in the lot"

Thomas Goodwin on Ephesians

Thomas Manton's commentary on Jude

Richard Baxter's "Directory"

MP3 set of John Howie's Scots Worthies (Free!)

These were some of my early treasures -- my heart burned within me as I discovered truths from hundreds of years ago. Then, SWRB graciously sent me a whole set of Puritan & Reformation CDs -- what a treasure trove they were! We were quite far from any other Western missionaries and I often joked with people that all my best friends were now dead -- they died several hundred years ago! They were my counsellors, advisors and mentors in those days.

We returned to the UK a few years ago and I took over the pastorate of a church. I gently tried to communicate and teach the truths that had become so precious to me and that we had proven in our daily lives on the mission field. Some grasped it, sadly some didn't. They felt the legalistic foundations of the reasons for holiness were being taken away and, after a few years, I was dismissed as pastor.

I have now been unemployed for just over 2 years and times have been hard -- but those doctrines have been such a foundation for these times as well. The truths I learnt then and new truths and books I have read from those CDs have greatly enriched me and my family. This isn't just sermon material but foundations for the nitty gritty of life when life is tough for you and you aren't just looking at a commentary to bolster your sermon for the coming Sunday!

I just wanted to say such a big THANK YOU for the work you do at SWRB, you will never know how many lives, families and churches have been enriched because of your publications. Time after time I have gone back to my forefathers in the faith. Doctrines that weren't tapped out on laptops in a cosy office but in the midst of social upheaval, civil war, plague, suffering and imprisonment.

John Owen has inspired me just by his life -- he went through so much yet his works just ooze Jesus and sweetness for him. I'm humbled, blessed, challenged and encouraged by doctrine that magnifies God and leaves me in awe of Him. Thank you for plugging away and publishing these works.

Thanks to the very kind generosity of someone I've recently acquired my own Puritan Hard Drive -- Wow! I'm impressed! Not just by the wealth of material on it but by the ease of use. If you can use Windows file Explorer or look for something on a USB memory stick then you can use the Puritan Hard Drive; it really is that simple. The software makes looking up authors, books and subjects so simple. You can also copy the files to read on a smart phone or tablet.

Thomas Brooks' "An ark for all God's Noahs" (Vol. 2 of Brooks' Works) must be one of the best books I have ever read; I've gone back to it time and time again over these last 2 years. I don't say this glibly but this is the kind of teaching you NEED in this age. Not just a sticking plaster for your wounds but to go under the scalpel of some master surgeons who will help cut out the cancer of sin and man-centredness in your life, teaching that will ground you in the sovereignty of God and humble you with proclamations of everlasting mercy. If I only stuck to reading the material on the Puritan Hard Drive there would be enough to last me decades.

P.S. I was offered a job yesterday! Guess what I'll be doing in my lunch break -- listening to the treasury of free MP3's and digging deep into God's riches on the Puritan Hard Drive!

Just wanted to let you know, the Puritan Hard Drive came in the mail today. I spent a little over an hour browsing the contents and am looking forward to diving in and doing some serious reading! I'm floored at the sheer quantity and breadth of the contents. That so many of the .pdf's are OCR'd and searchable is truly remarkable!

I am amazed at my newly found ability to search Ursinus' Commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism, Witsius' Economy of the Covenants, all seven volumes of Calvin's Selected Works: Tracts and Letters, Dabney's Discussions and his Lectures in Systematic Theology, as well as Charles Hodge's three volumes of Systematic Theology to name only a few. I haven't even begun to plumb the resources by Diodati, Hengstenberg, John Dick, Jonathan Edwards, Matthew Henry, Martin Luther ... and I could just keep on going!

When you mentioned the .mp3 collection, I must admit that I was skeptical at first; I wasn't sure I would have a need for .mp3s. Upon browsing the selection, however, I am convinced that this too will be an incredible resource - especially for my daily commute. I look forward to listening to audio book versions of Augustine's City of God and his Confessions, John Owen's Death of Death and his Mortification of Sin, and Jonathan Edwards' The Religious Affections - again, to name only a few!

I'm only at the beginning of my journey through the Puritan Hard Drive but based on what I've seen so far, some very delightful study lies ahead!

When I first saw the ad for the Puritan Hard Drive I was astonished that so much was included.

I always pray before I search my computer for something God would want me to read. When I was led to the website of Still Waters Revival Books, I knew my prayer had been answered. Everything I could possibly need for the rest of my life was right there in the Puritan Hard Drive.

Then I saw the price. Although the price is incredibly reasonable, I never in a million years thought I could own it. So I prayed some more and contacted the owners. A deal was made and now this incredible library of Puritan and Reformation books, MP3s and videos are mine to delve into.

It is almost overwhelming.

I will be spending years in study.

As I endeavor to do advanced studies by these olden-day writers, I am struck by how many they were. I do have some who are my favorites like, Charles Spurgeon and John Foxe, to name a couple. The Puritan Hard Drive search makes finding these writings extremely easy. I need go no further than get a subject to study and then search for any writings on it. Up comes a huge list with hundreds of books and audio to allow the study to be completely studied to the max. How blessed this hard drive is.

Those who put the time and effort to make this possible have been obviously led by the Holy Spirit, and blessed by God. That blessing continues to be passed on to whomever buys and uses the Puritan Hard Drive as it was made to be used.

The writers of old were blessed and led to write. Now hundreds of years later, reread by us, the blessing continues. Classic writings for the new Christian, and old. There is something for all classes of study. "The truth shall set you free." This little sentence is so healing.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic, and at a young age I questioned the truth of my religion. God's hand in my life, through the Holy Spirit, led me to the truth as an adult.

I was misled by many TV evangelists who sounded great but did not satisfy my need. After reading many writers, the Reformed and Puritan writers have it! They knew how to be holy, in the grace of our Lord. Now with the Puritan Hard Drive, I too will learn and live a holy life. It is not hard when you hunger for the truth. It is around. Ground yourself in the Word and in prayer and the truth will set you free.

Thank you to all those who were involved in making this incredible resource available for anyone who really and truly wants to live by the Word of God.

God Bless!

Pastor David Petrie Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

"I love books. When I pull Owen or Watson off the shelf, or drink deeply of Baxter while I sit by the fire, I am spoon-fed doctrines made all the more sweet by the passing centuries.

In much the same way that we stand on the shoulders of the Puritans and reap from their study, we also reap from all SWRB's work.

The folks at Still Water Revival Books have carefully assembled the most comprehensive collection of Puritan works I have ever seen.

This is a must have -- I am simply astonished with the sheer volume on this device! It would take me a lifetime to assemble such a library! Not to mention the audio/video collection; few people could afford all of these books -- or to add on that second library to keep them.

The common Christian can now have a world-class Presbyterian and Reformed library at his fingertips, for only pennies per volume.

I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that the Puritan Hard Drive presents an historic and singular opportunity.

The works on the Puritan Hard Drive have been invaluable to me in sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety. If these had been the only blessings attached to the reading of these documents, the expense (even if it had been much greater) would have been justified; but there is more here.

In this present time, a great many Presbyterians (particularly in North America) have forgotten and implicitly (perhaps unwittingly) rejected their Presbyterian heritage. Strangely, Westminster confessing churches have rejected the theological distinctives of the Westminster Standards.

Although the Westminster Assembly produced a beautiful statement of soteriological Calvinism, the histories clearly demonstrate that soteriology was not the principle focus, nor chief interest, of the Assembly. The Westminster Assembly was primarily concerned with uniformity in worship (in accordance with the Regulative Principle), the form of church government (Presbyterianism jus divinum), and Church-State relations (the Establishment Principle). It is a sad irony that the great and distinctive attainments of the Westminster Assembly have been ignored and rejected by so many Westminster confessing churches.

However, we may yet entertain the hope that these great attainments are rejected largely because of ignorance. The best books on these subjects have not been readily available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on the Puritan Hard Drive.

For anyone interested in recovering our Presbyterian and Reformed past, the Puritan Hard Drive is a must.

It is my hope and prayer that the Puritan Hard Drive will be used by God to bring to light the things that were hidden, to call to remembrance the things that were forgotten.

"I would like to commend our brothers at Still Waters Revival Books for putting together the most complete collection of classic and rare Puritan and Covenanter works.

We should rejoice to see so many long out of print works finally available in an easily affordable and searchable format. No longer do we solely have to wait for expensive reprints to trickle out one at a time, year by year.

Every scholar, pastor, elder and professing Christian should take a great interest in the Puritan Hard Drive, for it sets before us the golden age of Protestant piety, preaching and scholarship. Everyone should benefit from the labors of these dear, departed saints."

My hat is off to the folks at Still Waters Revival Books - you've put together something special that will benefit all the purchasers and recipients!

Purchasers of the Puritan Hard Drive will find at their fingertips a truly awesome collection of writings and video, eminently convenient in the pocket sized drive.

It's my prayer (which I see already being fulfilled) that users around the world can search these documents to great benefit as they prepare sermons, write papers, study for a deeper understanding of history and theological development, and share with friends.

It makes a generous gift, too.

Check it out for yourself and you'll find, I believe, that it's one of the best Christian software libraries yet developed and its price and convenience make the Puritan Hard Drive a truly appealing resource.

What you must understand, is that you have, in one resource (the Puritan Hard Drive - ed.), the vast wealth of God working through His chosen elect for hundreds of years.

The Puritan Hard Drive is a record of the true Church of God rising from the ashes of the Church burned to nothing by the late 1400's in the flames of man's greed for money and power, lust for position and license, and apathy -- in the spiritual murder of the eternal souls of millions of the lost, who were galvanized in their error by the Papal fairy tales of limbo/purgatory, indulgences, etc. The Reformation was about the true Church being "born again" from the ashes of righteousness which used to be, but had denigrated to a selfish and lustful perversion in the pride of the Roman Catholic Church.

What we must understand is that the Church is now in the same state as then. The new "Catholic Church" is the drug store, self-fix-it mentality and philosophy which has built an edifice of heresy, grounded in the long ago heretically defined Arminianism. The attraction is evident and replete with the selfish immediacy which pervades this society; a "Try God! He works!" marketing religion has arisen out of the Arminian heresy -- to fit right in with the culture of the quick fix, totally self-administered and open to all.

This nation's ignorance regarding the absolute sovereignty of God is a stumbling block of society destroying magnitude.The Puritan Hard Drive (by God's grace - ed.) will instill the truth of the sovereignty, immutability, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience of our God and weed out the Arminian error, which states "Man is NOT totally depraved and WE can tell Jesus when He is allowed to save us, because we have that much 'pure righteousness' so as to identify and desire Him."

Arminianism is a VERY dangerous untruth which leads to SELF as the STANDARD FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS! For decades the elect have been kept in spiritual darkness for unnecessarily long periods of time; the common grace promoted by truth disseminated, which promotes a more ordered world even in the lives of the fallen, is lost to this error as the fallen amongst the believers suppose they are saved, after telling Jesus they will accept Him, unto license to indulge, just as the Roman Catholic Church was in error and people all over Europe sinned with suspect impunity, which they believed they had purchased via indulgences, from "God's financial representative" (i.e., the Papal Antichrist - ed.) here on earth.

The Puritan Hard Driveis a tool God will use to cast light upon this perverted and pride filled heresy which, because of the unfounded resistance against Reformation creeds and confessions (Westminster, Heidelberg, Dort, etc.), took hold as ORTHODOX DOCTRINE!

Satan is going to want to harm your operation in any way he can... you walk with your colleagues as warriors on the front line of a battle God has already won, but at the same time, a battle He allows to continue for His Glory and our edification unto the wisdom it will require to "judge the angels," as Paul disclosed. We have a BIG responsibility as those who carry His Image... He will teach those who He has destined to carry such as the Puritan Hard Drive more intense lessons as they will carry more responsibility in the time to come.

I want to reveal this resource to my compatriots in faith and try to add to your affiliate outlets...that the result will be more of God's chosen reached by this gift from our Father. Let's get this blessing from God to the hearts starving for its fruit!

Thank you for the Puritan Hard Drive. I have just received it... it is an awesome blessing.

I really don't know who you people are but I am sure glad I have made your acquaintance! I first bought the 62 SWRB CDs some time ago and around that time became aware of the idea of exclusive Psalmody. Now, after a quick perusal of the PHD, I am made aware of certain teachings on birth control.

I have ignored the whole concept of birth control because it seemed to me to be a Roman Catholic idea (by the way, I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church) and since only the Roman Catholics practise no birth control I did not see any reason why I ought to adopt it.

Of course in British Christianity neither of these ideas crop up at all (i.e., exclusive Psalmody and the regulative principle of worship, nor any teaching on birth control). On the occasions when I have raised the issue of exclusive Psalmody I have been rejected. The idea is not even considered as being a valid Christian position at all and unfortunately I fear the same for the teachings on birth control. I pray I am wrong.

So again I thank you for your due diligence in producing the Puritan Hard Drive and reintroducing long lost Christian practices and teachings.

May the Lord be glorified and many brought to Him.

Alleluia

On the Puritan Hard Drive

Received the SWRB Puritan Hard Drive about three days after shipment.

Have used it... on my Dell Latitude D630 laptop, and am pleased with the product.

It is wonderful -- all that a few of you have been able to do.

Dr. David Hindle Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive

I am pleased to let you know that my Puritan Hard Drive has arrived and I have been enjoying, encouraged, and being refined already by some of the Spurgeon and Puritan sermons.

Of late, other responsibilities have kept me from blogging about my review copy of the Puritan Hard Drive but as the drive kept staring at me from my bookshelf, I finally carved out a few minutes to look something up and decided to do a little musing, in addition to showing yet another great use for the Puritan Hard Drive.

The impetus for this post was a search of Zacharias Ursinus’ Commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism which has been OCR’d as part of the Puritan Hard Drive. I searched the volume for “covenant” and slogged through the 156 references tagged in the search. I had been wanting to look into this for some time and now the Puritan Hard Drive made my inquiry that much easier!

The links in the green box below will take you to the original Puritan Hard Drive (PHD) page, where you will find information about many PHD benefits and features (e.g., our lifetime guarantee, how free lifetime software upgrades and free lifetime database updates are included with every purchase, PHD overview and tutorial videos, search and research features, author lists, title lists, and much more). The only differences from the information at these links, for the fully downloadable On Demand Editions of the Puritan Hard Drive (PHD-ODE), are those slight differences already listed on this page.
